Moving Up - Bankroll?

[fxyjrntsom]

Thank you, everyone, for your help/suggestions!

I see a wide range of recommended bankroll, from the bold 15 to the cautious 100, with a moderate range of 30-50. I might lean conservatively, since I don't want to worry about depositing money into PokerStars.

Some of you and some articles seem to say that Turbo probably increases variance, while Double or Nothing probably decreases variance. Right?


fulksy: How much harder is the $5 game? At my current level, there are still people who go all-in with A9 and call all-ins with AQ on the first hand!

drmcboy: But I love Turbo Double or Nothing! They're so fast!

$5 aren't that much harder, you'll find the same donks doing the same things they do at the $1's the difference is you will find more reg. multitabler's who have a decent grasp on ICM play. but they're still very profitable because the majority are still bad players that just feed you equity by bowing out early with garbage. i moved up to $12 turbos and still tons of terrible players but again just more regs then the $5's

work on your end game (push/fold) and you'll be fine, but stick to your BR management.

I see. I wanted to get an idea of how much my win rate would decrease if I moved up. Thanks!
